Welcome to October. It's Libra Season this month, a season to focus on relationship and connection. But with Venus Retrograde and Mercury coming up to its retrograde, it may be a month of retracing our steps. This week, Mars makes a powerful opposition to Pluto.Timestamps:♈ Aries — 27:34♉ Taurus — 32:14♊ Gemini — 35:48♋ Cancer — 41:17♌ Leo — 46:30♍ Virgo — 52:08♎ Libra — 56:28♏ Scorpio — 1:00:47♐ Sagittarius — 1:05:45♑ Capricorn — 1:09:36♒ Aquarius — 1:13:53♓ Pisces — 1:18:31Read More:October 1 Free Webinar: Introduction to Energetic Scienceshttps://empoweringastrology.com/free-webinar-intro-to-energetic-sciences-october-2026/Module 1 Energetic Sciences, October 17-18https://empoweringastrology.com/energetic-sciences-module-1-october-17-18-2026/Mars in Leo: Sign by Signhttps://empoweringastrology.com/mars-in-leo-sign-by-sign/Jupiter in Leo: Sign by Signhttps://empoweringastrology.com/jupiter-in-leo-sign-by-sign/Saturn in Aries: Self Reliancehttps://empoweringastrology.com/saturn-in-aries-self-reliance-2025-2028-what-does-it-mean/Saturn in Aries: Sign by Signhttps://empoweringastrology.com/saturn-in-aries-sign-by-sign-what-does-it-mean/Chiron in Aries: The Wounds of Warhttps://empoweringastrology.com/chiron-in-aries/On Chiron, Suffering, and Knotshttps://empoweringastrology.com/on-chiron-suffering-and-knots/Uranus in Gemini: Radical Ideashttps://empoweringastrology.com/uranus-in-gemini-radical-ideas-what-does-it-mean/Uranus in Gemini: Sign by Signhttps://empoweringastrology.com/uranus-in-gemini-sign-by-sign/Neptune in Aries: A New Dawnhttps://empoweringastrology.com/neptune-in-aries-a-new-dawn-what-does-neptune-in-aries-mean/Neptune in Aries: Sign by Signhttps://empoweringastrology.com/neptune-in-aries-sign-by-sign/Pluto in Aquarius: Transforming Humanityhttps://empoweringastrology.com/pluto-in-aquarius-transforming-humanity-2023-2044-what-will-it-mean/Pluto in Aquarius: Sign by Signhttps://empoweringastrology.com/pluto-in-aquarius-what-does-it-mean-for-my-zodiac-sign/Subscribe to My Mailing Listhttps://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/679683/113465703059687274/shareAstrology Webinars and Courseshttps://empoweringastrology.freshlearn.com/Book Your Astrology Consultationhttps://empoweringastrology.as.me/Astrology Gift Certificateshttps://empoweringastrology.com/gift-certificates/#marsoppositepluto #mercuryinscorpio #venusretrograde #libraseason #suninlibra #elementair #venusinscorpio #october2026astrology #octoberastrology #empoweringastrology #katiesweetman #astrologyplusconsciousness #holisticastrology #astrologyforecast #soulalchemy #thesoulsjourney #modernmystics #astrology #astrologie #astrologia #astrolog #astrologersofinstagram #horoscope #horoscopes #astrologyposts #dailyhoroscope #dailyastrology #weeklyastrology #weeklyhoroscopes

Episode 302In this podcast, New York Times best-selling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas discusses the astrology of the week and what it might mean for us all.The astrology of the week of September 28th, 2026, doesn't hold back. Mercury (the planet of communication) moves into Scorpio and pushes us to skip the small talk and get straight to what matters most. Then the messenger planet makes difficult squares to both Mars (the planet of confrontation) and Pluto (the planet of secret power), which only amps up our appetite for difficult conversations and challenges us to learn from any tension that gets triggered. As Venus (the planet of connection) stations retrograde (also in Scorpio), the ways we relate come up for review, and we're called to reconnect with the sides of ourselves that we've tried to sweep under the rug. It's time to be honest about all the aspects of who you are, even if it's uncomfortable. That's where the healing happens.This episode covers:The Sun's trine to Uranus on Monday, September 28thMercury's opposition to Chiron on Tuesday, September 29thMercury's entrance into Scorpio on Wednesday, September 30thMercury's square to Mars on Friday, October 2ndMercury's square to Pluto on Friday, October 2nd Mars' trine to Neptune on Friday, October 2ndThe start of Venus' retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday, October 3rd Mars' opposition to Pluto on Saturday, October 3rdThe Sun's opposition to Saturn on Sunday, October 4thTimestamps:00:00 - Intro04:57 - Saturday's Venus retrograde and the myth of Inanna's descent into the underworld24:28 - Monday's Sun–Uranus sextile24:42 - Wednesday's Mercury in Scorpio ingress, and Friday's Mercury–Mars and Mercury–Pluto squares26:12 - Friday's Mars–Neptune trine and Saturday's Mars–Pluto opposition29:29 - Sunday's Sun–Saturn opposition29:53 - More on Venus retrograde31:51 - Astrology 10137:33 - Weekly wrap-upThis episode was recorded on 9/18/2026.For more, check out your free daily horoscope on the homepage of the CHANI app — now on iOS and Android.Looking for an astrological map, compass, and companion for the coming year?

This week brings an action-packed sky: a Sun-Uranus trine sparks clarity, Mercury enters Scorpio and squares both Mars and Pluto, Venus stations retrograde for deep relationship and financial repair work, and a Mars-Pluto opposition ignites power struggles between the individual and the collective. A Cancer Last Quarter Moon pushes toward July 2024's New Moon intentions, while a Sun-Saturn opposition demands decisiveness to close out the week. Plus: Pointiness, breaking a bone, and which indulgences to choose? Read a full transcript of this episode. Have a question you'd like answered on the show?  Email April or leave it here!

Sept. 28, 9:22 am PDT, 5°33' Libra-Gemini). This trine opens a window for Libra to be its authentic self without constantly checking what others are doing. Uranus in Gemini offers a clarifying idea that cuts through Libra's people-pleasing tendencies. [3:32] Mercury enters Scorpio (Wed. Sept. 30, 4:44 am PDT). The planet of communication steps into a tense T-square with Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius. This is a ruthless, penetrating Mercury with no patience for small talk or diplomacy. [4:11] Mercury squares Mars (Fri. Oct. 2, 2:14 am PDT). An aspect that speaks its mind and doesn't suffer fools gladly. April explores the Sabian symbols for both planets, including "a woman having her hair bobbed" at Mars's degree — a radical act of independence that echoes Amelia Earhart, who was born with the Sun at this degree. [6:41] Mercury squares Pluto (Fri. Oct. 2, 1:43 pm PDT). Pluto ups the ante beyond impulsive anger into particularly ugly territory: jealousy, contempt, trolls, and cold collective judgment. On the upside, this aspect sharpens Mercury's ability to see beneath the surface and discover what we've believed about ourselves that is flat-out wrong. [7:52] Mars trines Neptune (Fri. Oct. 2, 3:18 pm PDT, 2°48' Leo-Aries). After the Mercury squares and before the Pluto opposition, this trine offers a softening moment. Neptune says "I care" and Mars says "I'm going to do something about it" — a helpful day for volunteering, donating, or resetting Mars's strident Leo energy. [9:07] Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio (Sat. Oct. 3, 12:16 am PDT, 8°29' Scorpio, "dental work"). Venus urges deep repair in relationships, money, and self-worth — even if it hurts. April walks through the full retrograde timeline (back into Libra Oct. 25, stationing direct Nov. 13 at 22°51' Libra, reentering Scorpio Dec. 4) and suggests looking back to October–November 2018 for echoes of this cycle. [12:55] Mars opposes Pluto (Sat. Oct. 3, 3:39 am PDT, 3°06' Leo-Aquarius). The week's pointiest aspect: the irresistible force meets the immovable object. April traces the Mars-Pluto story from their January 27 conjunction, through the May 25 square, to this opposition — and asks what proud Mars in Leo is trying to accomplish that Pluto in Aquarius doesn't appreciate. Expect power struggles for a few days either side. [16:07] Moon Report: Cancer Last Quarter Moon (Sat. Oct. 3, 6:25 am PDT, 10°21' Libra-Cancer). This Last Quarter carries the Mars-Pluto opposition, making it a powerful but not gentle push toward Virgo New Moon plans from September 10. April unpacks the Sabian symbols ("a clown making grimaces" vs. "a professor peering over his glasses") and traces the full lunar phase family cycle back to the July 5, 2024 Cancer New Moon; First Quarter (first action point) Apr. 4, 2025; Full Moon (awareness point) Jan. 3, 2026. [21:50] Void-of-Course Moon periods. Four VOC periods this week: Mon. Sept. 28, 2:50 am PDT (Aries Moon opposing Mercury — indecision vs. impulsiveness); Tue. Sept. 29, 4:36 pm PDT (Taurus Moon squaring Jupiter — overindulgence warnings); Thu. Oct. 1, 7:42 pm PDT (Gemini Moon sextile Jupiter — social fun and happy hours); Sat. Oct. 3, 8:08 am PDT (Cancer Moon squaring Saturn — feelings, boundaries, and emotional security). [26:56] Sun opposes Saturn (Sun. Oct. 4, 5:29 am PDT, 11°18' Libra-Aries). The Sun's yearly opposition to Saturn demands decisive action from a sign that prefers to deliberate. April explains how Saturn in Aries can serve as a necessary shove for Libra's chronic indecisiveness. [28:51] Got a question?

Here's hoping we're all walking into this week without having burned any bridges we didn't mean to burn over the full moon in Aries weekend. If you did, you're in good company, and the rest of the week isn't exactly planning to calm down. Mars changed signs on Sunday. Mercury changes signs on Wednesday. And on Saturday, Venus stations retrograde, which I've been talking about for a month and which is finally here.Almost everything else this week is either setting those up or reacting to them. Mars and Mercury both hit Chiron at the very last degree of a sign right before they leave it, so the week keeps pressing on an old bruise and then immediately moving on. Mars gets louder and prouder. Mercury goes underground and starts digging. By Friday they're colliding with each other and with Pluto, and then Venus stops in the middle of all of it and turns around.Key moments of the week:Sunday, September 27: Mars in Cancer square Chiron in Aries (7:58AM)Sunday, September 27: Mars enters Leo (10:49PM)Monday, September 28: Sun in Libra trine Uranus in Gemini (12:21PM)Monday, September 28: Mercury in Libra trine North Node in Aquarius (5:08PM)Tuesday, September 29: Mercury in Libra opposite Chiron in Aries (11:14PM)Wednesday, September 30: Mercury enters Scorpio (7:45AM)Friday, October 2: Mercury in Scorpio square Mars in Leo (5:14AM)Friday, October 2: Mercury in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius (4:42PM)Friday, October 2: Mars in Leo trine Neptune in Aries (6:17PM)Saturday, October 3: Venus stations Retrograde (3:16AM)Saturday, October 3: Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius (6:38AM)Sunday, October 4: Sun in Libra opposite Saturn in Aries (8:28AM)To read your, your kids', and your co-parents' daily horoscopes for this week, along with the detailed daily insights throughout the week, and personalized insights for every transit going on right now (plus deep dive parenting guides based on your specific chart and your kids' charts), pop over to the website or either app store:Get started on the websiteiPhone and iPad appsAndroid app

The Relational Alchemist Enters the UnderworldA brief note. These episodes are prerecorded during tiem away. I am not tracking current events in real time. Hold what I offer here alongside what you are actually living.This week the Relational Alchemist enters the underworld. Venus stations retrograde at 8 degrees of Scorpio. This is not a gentle week. It is not meant to be. Genuine initiation rarely arrives gently.Key Cycles This Week:Monday, September 28: Sun in Libra trines Uranus in Gemini. A genuine breath before the descent. Clarity and unexpected connection. The relational mind finding a new angle on something that has felt fixed. Let the air element be generous today, carry as much clarity and openness as possible into what follows.Tuesday, September 29: Mercury in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries. The Communicator in Libra seeks the right words for genuine relational encounter. Chiron in Aries holds the wound of the voice that has learned to be smaller than what is actually true. Their opposition asks: where has the search for relational harmony been suppressing what the self actually needs to say? Notice what you are not yet saying. It may be asking for its moment before the week is done.Wednesday, September 30: Mercury enters Scorpio (remaining through December 6 due to retrograde motion). The diplomat becomes the truth-teller. Nearly ten weeks of the Communicator in the sign of hidden truth and what lives beneath the surface of what is spoken. Mercury entering Scorpio two days before Venus stations retrograde is the Communicator taking its place beside the Relational Alchemist at the gate of the underworld. They will descend together.Friday, October 2: Mercury in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius. Mars in Leo trines Neptune in Aries. All at 2 to 3 degrees of fixed signs, the pressure building to its concentration point. Mercury squaring both Mars and Pluto asks the truth-teller to find language for what lives at both the personal and collective level simultaneously.Mars is the lower octave of Pluto, personal will and instinctual force at the immediate level, Pluto the transpersonal transformative power beneath it. When Mercury squares both, the shadow of dominator culture is concentrated in the fixed field — the rage, the violence, the aggression normalized across generations. Mercury in Scorpio names what others prefer to leave unnamed.The elder's discernment matters here. There is a crucial difference between the destructive expression of shadow and its genuine alchemical transmutation. Rage metabolized through Plutonian awareness becomes fuel for genuine change. Rage vented without that awareness perpetuates the cycle it opposes.Mars trine Neptune is the necessary counterpoint, creative fire finding easy flow with the imaginal field. Vision and genuine inspiration available alongside the shadow confrontation. Both are present today. Which one you feed matters.Saturday, October 3: Venus stations retrograde at 8 degrees of Scorpio. Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius. The threshold day.Mars opposing Pluto concentrates what Friday was building toward, the instinctual creative fire in direct confrontation with the Transformer at the collective level. Where genuine creative expression meets collective restructuring and must decide whether it serves the old dominator dynamic or the genuinely new.And then Venus stations retrograde.The Relational Alchemist pauses and turns inward. Everything Venus governs intensifies at the moment of the station — relationships, values, what we deem worthy of genuine care, what we are willing to acknowledge as the true cost of how we have been living and loving.She does not descend because it is comfortable. She descends because genuine sovereignty requires facing what lives in the depths. What has been hidden. What the surface management of relationship has been protecting us from knowing about ourselves.You might feel this as unusual heaviness or depth in the relational field. A sense that something is being asked that cannot be deferred any longer. Honor the threshold. Feel the weight of what is being crossed.Sunday, October 4: Sun in Libra opposes Saturn in Aries. The day after the threshold, the reality principle arrives. Direct, unsentimental, honest about what is actually here. Saturn's gift at the opening of the Venus retrograde season is the honest assessment the interior journey requires, not the performed version of depth but the genuine ground from which real transformation becomes possible.Larger FrameThe retrograde arc runs through November 14. Two more Venus-Pluto squares. Two more Venus-Chiron oppositions. Mercury joining the retrograde field October 24 through November 12. A sustained two-month season of relational alchemy, each contact bringing a different facet of what the Relational Alchemist is asking to be seen and transformed.In the collective field, Venus retrograde in Scorpio asks what has been the true cost of how love, value, and resource have been organized under dominator culture. What genuinely needs to die in how the collective relates to the feminine, to the earth, to what is worthy of genuine care?The descent serves the emergence. Trust that.Reflection QuestionsAs Mercury in Scorpio squares Mars and Pluto, where is the truth-teller in you being asked to name what has been unsaid — and what is the difference between shadow's destructive expression and its genuine alchemical transmutation?At Venus's retrograde station, what is present at the threshold that you have been deferring acknowledgment of — in your relational life, in what you value, in what you claim as worthy of genuine care?As Sunday's Sun-Saturn opposition offers its honest assessment, what is the genuine ground from which you are entering this retrograde season?Podcast poem: Trough by Judy Sorum BrownSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comThis episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

A detailed look at the astrology forecast for October 2026, with astrologer Chris Brennan. This month is dominated by a tumultuous Venus retrograde in Scorpio, kicking off alongside intense hard aspects to Mars and Pluto, which will dredge up some challenging things from the past. Tensions are further heightened as Mercury slows down and stations retrograde in Scorpio later in the month, bringing communication breakdowns and the need for significant retooling. I explore the historical precedents for these transits and break down how to navigate this tough astrological weather before the planets finally station direct and offer resolution in mid-November.

Venus retrograde is coming, and in this week's episode Yasmin explains what it actually means. Venus is the planet of love, money, beauty, pleasure and self-worth, and roughly every 18 months she appears to go backwards through the sky.

Am I giving more than I'm getting? Is there a balance?Don't fear retrogrades. Venus wants harmony, and her retrograde is often about second chances.This affects everyone, not just Libras and Scorpios. Your Rising sign shows which area of your life is up for review.Be careful with big-ticket aesthetic purchases while Venus is retrograde.

Before We Dive InI'm writing and recording this on September 23rd, because I'm heading to Seattle tomorrow to visit my two daughters — both of whom got engaged last month. Two engagements in August. Very Cancer season. I am very much the Great Mother right now.Which means I will not be doing a political video this week. Back Sunday. Normal service resumed next week.But this is the week I have been building toward all year — and the cards (which I'll read at the end) are, I am not even joking, telling you to join the Venus class. So let me say it plainly before we get into what is a genuinely extraordinary week:The Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey class starts October 1st at 10am Mountain Time. The morning of October 1st is the absolute last chance to register — I won't accept late joiners, because this is a group journey into the underworld, and the group needs to begin together.Two tiers:The Journey — $397. Seven weeks, eight calls, all recordings, full course portal with pre-work videos, slides in colour and black-and-white, and materials you keep. We go really deep.Dragon Rider — $897 total. Everything above, plus: a private 30-minute one-on-one with me (starts after the class), a full year's membership in the Spiral Codex private community ($600 value, weekly calls and great discounts), and a personalized gift — I'll be asking Dragon Riders for their addresses to mail those out. The one-on-one and membership both begin after the class finishes.I have to mention: the first call starts at 10am Mountain Time on October 1st, and Venus is right on the Ascendant at that exact moment. I did not plan that. It is just the way my life seems to work.louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026The Evolving Astrologer — my Venus retrograde article has been published in OPA's free online magazine. I'm on page 21. If you missed the OPA Live panel last weekend, it's available at opaastrology.org — Merridith Cassels also did a wonderful piece on asteroids you'll want to catch.And yes — I made t-shirts from one of the Venus class slides. You truly cannot make this stuff up.Also: Taylor Swift is releasing new music from her Life of the Showgirl albums this Friday, including a single called Patient Zero. I'll just leave that there, alongside everything that's happening at 0° Scorpio this week. She knows astrology. I happen to know she's consulted someone. I'll say no more.The Week at a GlanceThis is arguably one of the most significant week of 2026 for the inner life.The sky patterns:* A Cardinal Grand Cross pressing hard for change throughout* A Fixed Grand Cross building as Mars enters Leo and Mercury enters Scorpio* An Air Grand Trine forming a kite — ideas, information, big awakenings* Mars moves into Leo at the end of Sunday* Mercury enters Scorpio on Wednesday September 30th — the 10th Pluto-Haumea exact square happens the same day at 3:15pm Eastern* October 1st: the Venus class begins* October 3rd, 3:15am Eastern: Venus stations retrograde at 8°29' Scorpio* Last Quarter Moon also on October 3rd — a cardinal Grand Cross with Saturn, Moon, Sun, PholusWaning moon all week. Going within. These cards are about recalibration, not momentum.The nodes are still at 29°. Still holding eclipse charge until October 9th.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot (Linda Hill, Etsy UK) and the Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins: The Hermit reversed, Three of Torches reversed, Five of Seeds reversed, and The Selkie.Three reversals and a Selkie. The first three say: withdraw, feel the stall, then begin to see a way through. And the Selkie says: shed the good girl pelt and dive into the soul home. Keep reading. These cards are saying something specific.Day by DaySunday, September 27 — Cardinal Grand Cross. Mars at the Threshold. Last Day of the Waning Aries Moon.We open the week post-Aries Full Moon, waning. The Moon is still in Aries and still carrying the full moon's illumination — but it's releasing now, not building.Mercury in Libra squares Asteroid Lilith to open the day — talking and fighting for justice, for the marginalized, for everyone who has been othered by the power-over paradigm. Asteroid Lilith says: nobody puts baby back in the corner. The Mercury square is a push. More people speaking out. Particularly, in my reading, those who have been most excluded.At the same time, Mercury opposes Eris — completing the formation of a Cardinal Grand Cross with Juno (sacred contracts; none of this is working) — which forces things to change. Initiating. Cardinal energy doesn't wait.Heading into the midterms, the voices are getting louder: we can't keep doing this. The tools exist. We just have to use them.The Aries Moon conjuncts Saturn — reality check, brakes applied, feeling held back. You might feel stalled. That is appropriate. The waning cycle is the releasing cycle.The Moon trines Black Moon Lilith — the wild, elemental feminine speaking clearly. There is real female rage alive this week, in the best sense. Female Rage: The Musical would be right at home.Mars at the anaretic 29° Cancer squares Chiron in Aries — the guardian energy looking at the wound of the toxic masculine. All of us carry this, regardless of gender, because we were raised in this culture. Mars in Cancer has been learning: I am a protector, not an attacker. I am a firefighter in the IFS sense — I want to put out fires, but that doesn't mean I have to attack everything. And now Mars is about to move into Leo.The Moon squares Ceres in Cancer — how are we mothering ourselves? How are we nurturing each other, in a genuinely healthy way?The Moon meets Pallas Athena — the wise warrior seeing the patterns. Oh. I see it now. We've got to change how we do this. The Moon trines Jupiter — a big fire trine, burning things down and creating differently.And then, at the very end of the day: Mars enters Leo.Mars in Leo is fire and heart and creative self-expression. Mars is not just war, and I want to be clear about this. Mars is our will, our drive, our energy. It's a firefighter in the internal family systems sense — highly protective. And Mars in Leo, heading toward the South Node and Regulus, is going to help take down more of what needs to come down. Because Mars in Leo will square 0° Scorpio — the exact point of the Venus Star Point. You want to be in the class when that happens. Week one slides are already done.The Moon closes the day conjuncting Vesta — what are you focused and committed to? What lights your inner flame? Here is the invitation this Venus retrograde is about to offer you.Monday, September 28 — Moon Into Taurus. The Fixed T-Square Begins.The Aries Moon finishes its journey by sextiling Hekate — the torchbearer at the crossroads, at this big turning point we're entering. I'm here. I'm lighting the way. We're going into the depths. This is not dark as in “oh my god.” It's dark as in depth. Personal and collective transformation happening at a profound level.The Moon conjuncts Eris (more table-turning within — the outer mirror of inner work), then aspects Asteroid Lilith, Juno, and Mercury — joining that Cardinal Grand Cross and saying collectively: we have to be the change we want to see in the world. Then the Moon meets Chiron — another look at the wounded masculine energy in all of us. Mars is now in Leo; the lesson keeps arriving from different angles.At 10:40am Eastern, the Moon enters Taurus. And immediately — a Fixed T-Square with 0° Scorpio.The Moon squares Mars in Leo. Mars in Leo squaring 0° Scorpio. This is gnarly energy, and it will activate on and off right through Venus and Mercury's retrogrades. What it's asking: dig into your deepest attachments. Your values. Your power dynamics and manipulation patterns — those you've been subjected to and those you've participated in. And find your way to acting from the heart. From Leo's highest.The Sun in Libra trines Uranus — a beautiful air trine bringing downloads, flashing insights, radical change of perception. Grace. When you know better, you do better. No beating yourself up for what's happened in the past. Manwë (the Law of Grace) is part of this cluster — the Sun opposes it exactly.Juno exactly opposes Asteroid Lilith — the Queen of Gods (who represented women, children, and the marginalized) facing the original equal. The fight for genuine equality is being activated at every level.The Moon opposes Haumea — and here's what to know: Pluto and Haumea are only 5 minutes apart at this point. They are about to have their next exact square. The Moon activating both of them simultaneously is a preview.Tuesday, September 29 — Moon Opposes Venus. Okyrhoe the Seer. The Looking Glass.The Taurus Moon opposes Venus in Scorpio while conjuncting Okyrhoe — the daughter of Chiron and Chariklo, the prophetess, the seer. This conjunction gives the Moon/Venus opposition a oracular quality: you may start to receive foresight around what you need to let go of. What attachments. What values. What old stories about who you are.The Venus class guides you through exactly this. And I will guide you through shamanic journeys that work precisely in this territory — going through the looking glass, seeing things in non-ordinary reality, pulling the pieces and patterns together. Pallas Athena (retrograde) squares Ceres today — the wise strategist looking at what feeds us and what doesn't, with that Alice-in-Wonderland capacity to see through the distortion to the pattern underneath.The Moon trines Pholus — Pandora's box is open. We can't look away anymore. Whatever has been sealed behind those lids: it's out. The Moon squares Jupiter — big emotions about what we're seeing. Jupiter in Leo can be the overblown king energy, the my way or the highway energy — and we're starting to see it clearly.The Moon aspects Nessus — the toxins, the poisons. But look: alongside that, heart-led expansion is available. The antidote to what we've been seeing is leading from the heart.Mercury opposes Chiron — the voice meeting the wounded masculine. Speak out. Do this differently. Language has power here.Mercury also makes its final aspects to the North Node — the strongest pull is toward where we're going: the Aquarian future. More humanitarian. More egalitarian. The question being asked everywhere from politics to tech: why are we letting four people — the owners of the AI companies — dictate what our collective future looks like? Why are we allowing it? Go and listen to the Politics Girl podcast this week; the author Ahmi Fields Meyer makes this case compellingly. We need to come together across our differences and use the tools we have.Wednesday, September 30 — Mercury Enters Scorpio. Pluto-Haumea Square Exact. The 10th.The Taurus Moon squares Chariklo and Hekate in Aquarius — both retrograde, both quiet, both holding the torch and spinning the new story from the wreckage. We're here. We're still holding space. Come with us.The Moon finishes its Taurus journey by squaring the Nodes at 29° — one more push. Change has got to come.At 7:44am Eastern, Mercury enters Scorpio — joining Venus in the deep waters. The voice, the mind, the communication descends. Mercury is, by the way, non-binary — and deeply at home in Scorpio's investigative, truth-seeking, depths-penetrating energy. More hearing and speaking about manipulation and power games. More going into the deep interior. Like the last Venus retrograde when Venus went through Aries and Mercury followed — now they're both in Scorpio, and they'll station direct on the same day: November 13th.At 1:26pm Eastern, the Moon enters Gemini.And then, at 3:15pm Eastern: Pluto exactly squares Haumea at 3° Aquarius/Scorpio. This is the 10th of 13 exact squares between these two, running from 2022 to spring 2028. Three more to go.I wrote an article on the Pluto-Haumea square — hereThe number 3° is worth sitting with. From The Numerology and the Divine Triangle (a wonderful book): 3 combines the qualities of 1 and 2. It carries the qualities of manifestation and self-expression. The ion which sprang into existence from zero sought to assert its individuality, then felt the attraction of others, and now awakens to its need for social interaction. 3 is the need to communicate and become involved in the pure joy of living. Keywords: expansive, dramatic, communicative, diversified, creative. Lovely number.Haumea is the great mother goddess of the Hawaiian pantheon — pure regeneration and rebirth. Pluto pressing on her at the number of creative manifestation, with Venus 3 days from stationing retrograde. This adds extraordinary potency to what we're entering.The Gemini Moon conjuncts Uranus at end of day — the whole air grand trine kite is activated. Big ideas. Speaking out. Court cases. Revelations. And all of it happening within, too.Thursday, October 1 — The First Call. Venus on the Ascendant. Last Chance to Join.The Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey begins at 10am Mountain Time.And at 10am Mountain Time, Venus is right on the Ascendant. I did not plan this. I never do. It just works for me.The morning of October 1st is the absolute last chance to register. I will not accept late joiners — this is a group journey into the underworld, and the container needs to hold everyone together from the beginning. If you've been saying I'm not sure, I don't know — this is the moment. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026Astrologically, the Gemini Moon trines the Sun — the first major Moon-Sun aspect after the Aries Full Moon. Activates the air grand trine. Speaking out, new ideas, diving deeper. A beautiful day to begin.The Moon sextiles Saturn (opportunity to release more self-limiting beliefs — and there will be many to release in this class), sextiles Pallas Athena (turning that steely, pattern-seeing gaze inward — exactly what we'll do), and sextiles Jupiter (expansion, big ideas, the heart opening toward what's possible).The Moon opposes Black Moon Lilith — I always associate Black Moon Lilith with Scorpio, and she's pointing directly into where we're about to descend.Quiet day, astrologically. Good for beginning something deep.Friday, October 2 — Mercury-Mars-Pluto. The Fixed Grand Cross Tightens. Cancer Moon Out of Bounds.The Gemini Moon squares Nessus at 21° — another look at the toxins, the poisons, what's been coming out. Then Mars aspects Sedna — we know we have to change. We know it. The question is what action we're going to take.Mercury in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo — and squares Pluto in Aquarius — completing the Fixed Grand Cross in earnest now. Mercury's voice and mind in the depths, Mars's will and drive in the heart, Pluto's excavation of shadow in the collective — all pressing on each other. Everything speaking truth. Everything connected. Think about what action is required.The Gemini Moon trines Chariklo and Hekate, sextiles Eris (opportunity to flip the inner tables), aspects Chiron (wound and medicine) — then at 3:54pm Eastern, the Moon enters Cancer — her own sign. And she is way out of bounds.Mercury in Scorpio squares Pluto and conjuncts Haumea — the total period of deep regeneration from the inside out. Soul detective. Corruption detective. Scorpio investigates what's hidden.Mars in Leo trines Neptune in Aries — Mars in Leo, Neptune in Aries, both Mars's signs in harmonious conversation. The lesson Mars keeps getting, from every angle: you are a protector, not an attacker. You don't have to stomp on others. You have to find different ways to do this.The Sun squares Pholus — Pandora's box, still open. More coming to light. The lid has been off too long to go back on.The Moon makes a water trine to Mercury and Haumea — deep, feeling, regenerative, creative. The inner detective work is happening.Saturday, October 3 — Venus Stations Retrograde. Last Quarter Moon. The Descent Begins.At 3:15am Eastern, Venus stations retrograde at 8°29' Scorpio.She will be retrograde through November 13th, when she stations direct alongside Mercury. The descent into the underworld begins.Where is 8° Scorpio in your chart? What about 22° Libra — the degree where Venus will station direct? The path between those two degrees is the territory of this retrograde. And if you were born under a prenatal Scorpio Venus Star Point, this is your star point cycle, and it will be extraordinarily personal.Even if you're not a Scorpio star point: look back 8 years to 2018. And 8 years before that. And 8 years before that. Venus has been going retrograde through Scorpio on this 8-year cycle. Not for exact events — but for feelings, themes, the part of your chart activated. What echoes are you hearing?The out-of-bounds Cancer Moon (deeply emotional, operating beyond the normal range) makes a water trine to Venus at 6:15am Eastern — this moment feels significant. A deep tide turning. We're going to feel it.Then: Mars in Leo opposes Pluto, squares Mercury, and squares Haumea — the Fixed Grand Cross at full force. Take action to dig deep. Go into your own heart and shadows. Transform from the inside out. This is not comfortable. It is the work.The Moon opposes Pholus (Pandora's box wide open as we descend).And then the Last Quarter Moon — the Moon reaches 10° Cancer, squaring the Sun in Libra, with Saturn and Pholus completing another Cardinal Grand Cross. Forcing change from within. Dane Rudhyar called Last Quarter Moons a “crisis in consciousness.” This one, with Venus having just stationed retrograde hours before, with a Fixed Grand Cross also activated, with Mercury in Scorpio and Mars pressing on Pluto — this is not a gentle crisis.Mars squares Haumea — the divine masculine learning, still, that the rebirth requires depth not domination.The Moon meets Ceres — and I want to end there, because Ceres is about our needs and our attachments. In my Ceres book, I write about her connection to attachment style: what we're attached to, who we're attached to, what ideas and stories we're clinging to. The Venus retrograde class begins peeling all of this back. And Ceres at the end of this intense day is saying: look at what you're attached to. You don't have to carry all of it.The Cards in DetailThe Hermit, reversed:You may start this week wanting to withdraw from the world. Feeling antisocial. Feeling like you want to hibernate. And you know what? That's okay. The waning cycle is the releasing cycle, and this is a big week of going inward.The caution of the reversal: don't let the going-within become “woe is me” with no movement. The Hermit reversed can be too much navel-gazing without the intentional “okay, and now what do I do with what I've found?” The invitation is solitude with purpose — even if that purpose is just let me feel this before I act on it.Three of Torches (Wands), reversed — Roadblocks and Recalibration:Venus grinding to a halt. Cardinal and Fixed Grand Crosses. Waning moon. Everything going within.You may feel delays, roadblocks, a loss of momentum and confidence this week. Your drive is going underground. This is not failure. This is the Three of Torches asking for recalibration — and it is pointing directly at the class. Recalibrate in community. Recalibrate in the underworld, with a guide and a map and seven weeks to find your feet.Five of Seeds (Pentacles), reversed — I Have My Own Back:This one lands at the end of the week, as Venus stations retrograde.You will start to feel that you can overcome hardship. You will start to see that the difficult times could be over.But here is the core message: you've got to have your own back. For better or worse. Through the descent and the return. You matter. And your actions matter.The Selkie (Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins):When I read this card, I said out loud: This is what I do in the Venus class. And I wasn't joking.“Legend tells of the Selkie — a shape-shifting woman-seal, often seen off the coast of northern Scotland, who can shed her skin by moonlight and dance upon the shores. Fishermen were known to catch the seal maid's skin in order to keep her pinned to the land, captured as bride, preventing her return to her true skin and soul home.To reclaim your soul skin in the current legend you're living, you must let go of the good girl pelt you were raised to wear. This means getting comfortable with letting people have their own ideas about who you are, so that you can develop the freedom to be what is most natural to you.Toss off all that no longer fits you, and dive deep into the places where your soul feels most at home.Let go of old demands you put yourself under to be that good girl, good friend, good daughter, good wife, good mother. Shed the pelt of expectation, demand, and approval, including your own.The woman in total control of herself you are becoming will cost you relationships, spaces, comfort, security, and convenience.Choose her over everything.”The Venus class is the place where we do this work — consciously, guided, over seven weeks. Where the shamanic journeys help you find your soul skin. Where the descent into Scorpio's underworld is not random suffering but initiated transformation.This is why these cards were telling you to join. The Selkie arrived at the week Venus goes retrograde. She is looking you directly in the eyes.Choose her over everything.Summing UpA Cardinal Grand Cross pressing and pressing for change. A Fixed Grand Cross building as Mars enters Leo and Mercury dives into Scorpio. The 10th Pluto-Haumea exact square at the number of creative manifestation. Mercury in Scorpio. Venus stationing retrograde at 3:15am on Saturday. The Last Quarter Moon adding its cardinal pressure. And Ceres closing the week by asking about our attachments.The Hermit reversed says: withdraw with intention, not despair. The Three of Torches reversed says: this stalling is a recalibration. The Five of Seeds reversed says: you can overcome the hardship — you have your own back. And the Selkie says: shed the good girl pelt. Dive deep into where your soul feels most at home.If you're in the class: welcome. We start October 1st.If you're still deciding: this is the last weekend. Enrollment closes the morning of October 1st.The underworld is waiting. Hekate has her torch.— LouiseVenus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — last chance to register is the morning of October 1st. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026My article in The Evolving Astrologer (OPA's free magazine) — page 21.

Does where you live, work, or host retreats actually influence how you feel, create, and lead?   In this fascinating episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with astrocartographer Krystal Thompson, founder of Aura Maps, to explore how location may impact everything from your creativity and confidence to your relationships and business success.   After experiencing her own personal astrocartography reading with Krystal, Shannon wanted to dive deeper into how this powerful tool can help retreat leaders choose retreat destinations, understand why certain places feel like home, and discover why some locations naturally support growth while others seem to create constant resistance.   Whether you're planning your next retreat, considering a move, or simply curious why certain places seem to energize you while others drain you, this conversation offers a fascinating perspective on the connection between geography and personal growth.   In This Episode You'll Learn What astrocartography is and how it works How your birth chart creates a personalized map around the world Why some locations naturally support creativity, leadership, business, or relationships How retreat leaders can use astrocartography when choosing retreat destinations Why you may feel completely different in one city compared to another Whether difficult locations should be avoided or embraced for growth How entrepreneurs can use location strategically for business and life decisions Why Shannon was so surprised by her own astrocartography reading If you've ever wondered why certain places seem to call to you, or why you've felt instantly at home somewhere you've never been before, this episode may change the way you think about travel forever.   What You'll Learn How astrocartography works How to choose retreat locations Why location matters for entrepreneurs Using astrocartography for business decisions Finding aligned retreat destinations Why certain places feel more supportive than others How travel can influence personal growth Key Takeaways Place Matters We spend so much time optimizing ourselves. Rarely do we stop to ask whether our environment is helping us thrive. Astrocartography Is More Than Astrology Krystal explains how your birth information creates a personalized world map that highlights locations where different aspects of your life may naturally flourish. Retreat Leaders Can Think Differently About Destination Selection Choosing a retreat location isn't only about beautiful scenery. It's also about creating an environment that supports the intention of the retreat itself. Every Place Serves a Purpose Some locations feel easy. Others challenge us. Neither is necessarily "good" or "bad." Sometimes growth happens because a place stretches us. Curiosity Creates Opportunity Whether you fully embrace astrocartography or simply find it interesting, asking new questions about place, purpose, and alignment can lead to entirely new possibilities.

As we cross into Libra season and the descent months, the balance between light and dark opens a new chapter of interiority, release, relationship, and transformation.The Aries Full Moon connects directly into the outer planet architecture we have been tracking throughout 2026, activating Neptune in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto in Aquarius while Mars begins its opposition to Pluto. With so much of the chart interconnected, this lunation brings collective transformation into the personal field through our instincts, relationships, boundaries, anger, choices, and use of life force.In this episode:• The Autumn Equinox and crossing the threshold into the descent• Libra season and the developmental relationship between self and other• The Sun in Libra opposite Neptune retrograde in Aries• The Full Moon at 3° Aries and themes of agency, desire, instinct, and selfhood• The Full Moon activating the Uranus Neptune Pluto outer planet configuration• The kite formation and larger planetary geometry surrounding the lunation• Mars in Cancer trine the Full Moon and Neptune• Mars beginning its opposition to Pluto and the intensification of anger, power, and survival material• Relational and psychological pressure building through the interconnected aspects around the Full Moon• Working somatically with activation, anger, urgency, and emotional energy• Carrying consciousness and life force with us as we enter the descentTHANK YOU for being here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pound Jewelry⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ use the code ALI20 for 20% off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kamana Coffee Replacement ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠use the code ALIO15 for 15% off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Earth Archive's Rainforest Serum⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - use the code ALIOFSTEDAL for 11% offThank for you being here.Your presence means the world.

This week on Classic Vinyl Podcast, Justin and Tyler take a trip into the wonderfully weird world of Klaatu and their 1976 song “Anus of Uranus.” Yes, that is really the title. We'll dig into the mysterious Canadian band, the strange humor behind the song, and the mix of progressive rock, pop, and studio experimentation that made Klaatu such a fascinating band in the first place. Along the way, we'll talk about the recording, the musicians behind it, and why this bizarre little track is a perfect example of just how adventurous '70s rock could get.

In 1977, NASA took advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime alignment of the planets to send two probes to the outermost reaches of the solar system.  They sent back the best images and data available at that time about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.  The program was a smashing success. However, the probes didn't stop traveling. They kept going and going, all the while maintaining contact with Earth. They ended up teaching us far more about the Solar System than we ever expected.

The Balance Point Before the IgnitionA brief note. These episodes are prerecorded during a wilderness retreat. I am not tracking current events in real time. Hold what I offer here alongside what you are actually living.We are at the balance point. The autumn equinox arrives Tuesday, Mabon in the Celtic tradition, the second harvest, the moment of equal light and dark before the turning toward the inward season. And yet this week ignites.By Sunday the planetary lineup in fire and air is complete. Sun and Mercury in Libra. Jupiter and Mars in Leo. Uranus in Gemini. Saturn, Chiron and Neptune in Aries. Pluto in Aquarius. Every planet and heavenly body except Venus in Scorpio (and the Moon in her changeable flow)  in fire or air simultaneously. The elemental grammar of the current civilizational moment fully expressed through the planetary field.Key Cycles This Week:Monday, September 21: Mercury in Libra sextiles Jupiter in Leo. A warm generous opening. Relational intelligence and creative meaning-making in easy flow. Conversations that open rather than close. A fitting note before the equinox threshold arrives.Tuesday, September 22: Sun enters Libra. Autumn Equinox. Mabon. The second harvest. What has genuinely ripened through this extraordinary summer that is ready to be gathered and held with gratitude? Not the surface understanding but the deeper fruit, the shift in how you see yourself, your place in the larger web, what you are willing to claim as genuinely yours.The equinox this year asks what genuine balance means in a time of civilizational imbalance. Not false equivalence. Not performed equanimity. The elder's balance — holding the full weight of what is difficult and what is beautiful simultaneously without collapsing into either. That is Libra's deepest gift for the coming month.The Fire-Air Ignition — Chiron as the Shamanic One: Chiron in Aries completes this week's elemental ignition with a dimension the other planets cannot reach. Chiron is not only the Wounded Healer. Chiron is the Shamanic One — the one who has learned to move between worlds, between the visible and the invisible, between the human and the ancestral field. The shaman does not heal by fixing. They heal by shapeshifting, entering the invisible dimensions of what is wounded, metabolizing in the spirit dimensions what cannot be metabolized in the ordinary world alone. The wound was the initiation into the capacity to move between worlds.Chiron in Aries freshly returned to complete its work carries that full shamanic dimension into the fire field. The broken places in the self being visited by the one who knows how to bring back what was lost. In a field blazing with fire and air, Chiron in Aries is the shamanic anchor, the reminder that genuine transformation is a crossing between worlds, not only a psychological process.Saturday, September 26: Full Moon at 3 degrees of Aries conjunct Neptune, sextile Pluto, trine Uranus. The second time this summer a luminary has activated all three great transpersonal cycles simultaneously. This time at a culmination point in Aries conjunct Neptune, the initiatory impulse and the imaginal dissolution both illuminated at once. The new identity emerging and the old identity dissolving, both visible in the full light of the Moon.The sextile to Pluto and trine to Uranus bring the full three-transpersonal cycle field into this illumination. The civilizational imagination being lit up at the most personal level available. Pay careful attention to what you see at this Full Moon around identity and vision, what is genuinely becoming as distinct from what has been performed or survived into existence.Sunday, September 27: Mars in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries. Mars enters Leo. A farewell and an ignition on the same day. Mars in Cancer's final significant contact, a reckoning between what it has been carrying through the ancestral and protective field and the wound of identity Chiron in Aries is completing. A naming of what has been carried before the fire of Leo ignites.Then Mars enters Leo, joining Jupiter. The Action-Taker and the Expander in the sign of the heart. The instinctual body crossing from tending what is vulnerable to expressing what is genuinely alive. With the North Node in Aquarius, Mars in Leo asks: what are you offering, and whom does it genuinely serve? Not the creative fire that burns for its own recognition but the fire that warms others and illuminates what needs to be seen.Larger FrameWe cross the equinox balance point with fire in hand. The interior alchemy of autumn, Venus retrograde deepening and Mercury retrograde coming, will be navigated with a fully ignited fire-air field, a shamanic anchor in Chiron in Aries, and a Full Moon illuminating all three great cycles in the territory of new identity and new vision.What are you carrying into the descent? What has been harvested that belongs to the journey ahead?Reflection QuestionsAt the equinox, Mabon's second harvest, what has genuinely ripened in you through this extraordinary summer that is ready to be gathered with gratitude?The Full Moon in Aries conjunct Neptune illuminates both the new identity emerging and the old dissolving simultaneously. What do you see in that double illumination?As Mars crosses from Cancer's protective waters into Leo's creative fire, what has the instinctual body been tending that is now ready to be expressed in genuine service?Podcast poem: For Calling the Spirit Back from Wandering the Earth in its Human Feet by Joy Harjo I'm offering you my do-it-yourself course Chiron: the Wisdom in the Wound. as a gift to you at no charge.

There's an email in your drafts with a number in it. This week it gets sent. This is your CEO Brief for the week of 21 to 27 September 2026, week four of Chapter 9, The Audit. It's called The Ask, because everything you've worked out over the last fortnight only pays you once you've said it out loud to the person it affects. Monday you write it. Thursday you send it. Then you leave it alone until the Monday after, and I'll tell you exactly why. In this episode: Why Saturday's Full Moon is for reading what came back, not for sending, whatever the rest of your feed says that morning The one-sentence ask: what changes, how much, and from when, and the words to cross out before you send it What a client changed to cut her live delivery by 90% without her income going backwards Why any ask with a price in it wants to go out this week, before Venus turns retrograde on 3 October Where the "yes" that isn't a yes turns up on Friday, and the one line that settles it in writing A 48-hour hold on everything the Full Moon makes you want to do at the weekend Every day's job, what it's good for, and what to leave alone, including the ordinary admin, calls and invoices Who it's for: service business owners with a full diary and a business that costs more to run than it should, who'd like their week planned before it starts. The week at a glance: Monday, write the ask Tuesday, build what they'll click on Wednesday, finish it and schedule it Thursday, it goes Friday, hold your ground Weekend, read what came back and decide nothing Monday the 28th, decide.

Cosmic LOVE with Dr Christopher Rudy Sept 10, 2026 / New Moon Why Trump Will Cancel the Midterms National Emergency Storm Brewing Sept 13, 2026 Summing Up the Crisis and Opportunity 12 'Storm Factors' / Enlightenment Op Why Trump Will Cancel the Midterms, Cosmic Weather Yods, and Fifty Years of Corporatocracy Fresh off a breathwork seminar, Dr. Christopher Rudy previews his newsletters on why Trump may cancel the midterms and a twelve-factor national emergency storm, reads a dense cosmic weather report, and traces fifty years of warnings about corporatocracy, the medical and military-industrial complexes, and AI, closing with a picture of civilization as a caterpillar dissolving toward Aquarian butterfly consciousness. A Breathwork High and Two New Newsletters Christopher Rudy opens the September 19th broadcast still wired from a breathworks seminar he has just left, joking that the extra oxygen has him primed for an exciting show. He greets listeners across roughly sixty-three nations and welcomes newcomers to his update on fast-changing world news. Before diving into material, he plays the third version of a song called Cosmic Love, created with BBS Radio co-producer Donald Newsome, one of four versions archived on the Cosmic Love homepage. Coming out of the music, Rudy previews two recent newsletters: "Why Trump Will Cancel the Midterms," published September 10th on the new moon, and "Summing Up the Crisis and the Opportunity," built around what he calls twelve storm factors. He describes each newsletter as a Cosmic Love sandwich, sourdough truth slathered with light and love on the ends and strong, straight-talking meat in the middle, seasoned with satire and cosmic humor. Reading the Cosmic Weather Yods Rudy turns to what he calls his cosmic weather report, describing the sun in the closing degrees of Virgo moving into Libra on the coming equinox. He reads a tight yod, or finger of God, pointing to Venus in Scorpio, with Neptune in Aries sextile Uranus in Gemini forming its focal points, a pattern he associates with intense God-vision and lightning revelation. A second yod links the moon in Capricorn and Venus in Scorpio, both pointing toward Uranus in Gemini, while a grand trine connects Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini, and the sun in Virgo, completed by a kite pattern with Neptune in Aries opposite the sun. Rudy calls this ancient Hermetic wisdom, quoting the idea that in the beginning God geometrizes, and describes three geometrized principles running through the cosmos: dynamic energy fields tied to squares and oppositions, magnetic fields tied to conjunctions, and radiant fields tied to trines and sextiles. The Geometry of Divinity and Brain Hemispheres Rudy builds a geometric picture of divinity from the law of the one, the circle and coherence factor, through the two-in-one Celtic cross, the three-in-one synergy of balanced hemispheres, and toward a four-in-one capstone vision. He recalls interviewing an author of two books, one of which he names only as The Field, whose name he cannot recall on air, about how Eastern civilization tends toward right-brain, socially cooperative thinking while Western civilization tends toward left-brain, compartmentalized individuality. He extends the comparison into geopolitics, contrasting the Belt and Road Initiative and the BRICS nations' win-win cooperation with what he describes as a Western win-lose approach built on sanctions. Rudy frames the moment as a choice between hemispheres working together, in synergy, or pulling apart into the polarization and conflict he says the world is currently experiencing. A 1974 Warning to Capitol Hill Rudy shifts to personal history, recalling a talk he gave in the summer of 1974 at Buckminster Fuller's World Game studies workshop, part of a three-day future summit called a SYNCON organized by Barbara Marx Hubbard. He says he later presented ten papers to ten agencies of the federal government on Capitol Hill, proposing how new satellite and interactive cable technology could upgrade Americans' freedoms of speech, assembly, and petitioning government ahead of the 1976 bicentennial. He recalls that none of the officials would look him in the eye, and that a junior college vice president told him afterward that the plan would eliminate bureaucracy, which is why it would go nowhere; Rudy says his phone was tapped for two weeks afterward. He connects that experience to what he calls corporatocracy, the merger of corporate and government interests he says the era's People's Bicentennial Commission was already warning about, and says nothing has fundamentally changed in fifty years. Complexes, Spectral Autism, and Ascended Masters Rudy argues that the military-industrial complex has expanded its surveillance technology to monitor and manage the American public, pointing to the war in Gaza as a proving ground for tools he says are now turned on citizens at home. He draws a parallel to what he calls the medical-industrial complex, asserting that vaccines create diseases that are then treated with further drugs for profit, and coins the phrase spectral autism to describe what he says is a loss of full-spectrum awareness in both vaccinated children and adults. He names stuck in negativity, or SIN, as the condition of people drawn to darker information sources, and offers pure intention as the way out. For forty years, he says, his own source of that pure intention has been the Ascended Master teachings, first through Church Universal and Triumphant and now through The Hearts Center, led by David Christopher Lewis, whose website he says holds more than five thousand HeartStreams, or messages, from the Ascended Masters. AI, Palantir, and a Butterfly Closing Rudy turns to artificial intelligence, saying its dark side is visible in Palantir Corporation and founder Peter Thiel, whom he accuses of using AI targeting against civilians in Gaza and, he claims, against nearly two hundred schoolchildren in Iran, a claim he presents as part of what Thiel himself reportedly calls dark enlightenment lectures on the Antichrist. Against that, Rudy sets what he calls a TLC reset: global telecommunication, telecare, tele-community and telecommerce built on self-correcting database standards for preventing and managing disease. He closes by describing Earth's current moment as a caterpillar dissolving inside a cocoon, its old order breaking down while a butterfly consciousness has not yet fully formed, and points listeners toward his free newsletter at christopherrudy.substack.com for the full detail behind the show. He signs off urging listeners to keep faith, see the good, dance like no one is watching, love like they have never been hurt, and be the change they want to see.

I'm joined by James Burgess to discuss Uranus, Neptune, & Pluto, a groundbreaking book that reinterprets the outer planets as an astrological Holy Trinity representing freedom, creativity, and evolution. Beyond a new way to deal with the planets that leads to self-realization, we'll dive into Sufi cosmology and Sabian astrology, exploring how these rich esoteric traditions deepen our understanding of major planetary transits. Get ready for a profound blend of ancient wisdom and modern insights designed to help you unlock your highest spiritual potential.

Start date is October 1st, and Venus stations retrograde on October 3rd — there was a timezone error on my sales page that said the 2nd; the 3rd is correct.I've already started uploading new content to the portal — video guides, aspect breakdowns for the lead-in to the retrograde. And I want to say something I've been sitting with: I called this possibly my last run, and I don't know that's true. It's my favourite thing I do. Things are changing in my life and work, and I don't know exactly what form future iterations will take. But this one — this one — is ready, and I'm genuinely excited about it.Two tiers: the basic Journey at $397 (seven weeks, eight calls, all recorded, full course portal, pre-work videos, slides in colour and black-and-white), and the Dragon Rider add-on (an extra $500) which includes a private 30-minute one-on-one ($175 value), a year's membership in the Spiral Codex community ($600 value, beginning after the class), and a personalized gift I'll mail to you.louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026Before We Dive InComing up: Cathy and I are recording on Friday, likely looking at the Aries Full Moon chart alongside the US Sibley chart — the DC chart for the full moon has exactly the same angles as the Sibley. We'll see what that means.Subscribe free on Substack for weekly posts and everything else. Spiral Weave on my website louiseedington.com — $10/month or $90/year.The Week at a GlanceThis is a week of building intensity, heading toward the Aries Full Moon on Saturday September 26th at 12:49pm Eastern. I've done a full separate video on that — go watch it for the depth. The week is the lead-in.The cards open at the end of your tether and build to fire. The astrology opens with a grinding cardinal T-square and builds to a kite configuration pointing at justice and transformation. By Saturday, the pieces come together.Key events:* Equinox — Sun enters 0° Libra — September 22nd* Pholus stations direct at 9° Capricorn — Friday September 25th* Aries Full Moon at 3° — Saturday September 26th at 12:49pm EasternOne note to carry all week: only Venus, the Sun, and Mercury have crossed the South Node and Regulus at 0° Virgo. The rest are still coming. Mars, Jupiter, Juno, Hygieia — all heading there eventually. For now, the direction is set, but the journey is ongoing.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot (Linda Hill, Etsy UK) and the Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins: Seven of Torches reversed, King of Torches, Ace of Torches reversed, She of the Invisible Ally.Three fire cards and one water card — and all of them, in their different ways, saying the same thing: the answer is within. The fire is within. The magic is within. The allies you've forgotten about are within.More at the end. But hold that thread.Day by DaySunday, September 20 — Moon in Capricorn. Cardinal T-Square. The Goddess Archetypes Are Screaming.We open the week with the Moon out of bounds in Capricorn — and Pluto also out of bounds, as it will be until early December each year through 2035. More erratic, more beyond the pale, more heightened. The usual advice: more self-care than you think you need, more boundaries, more kindness to yourself.The Moon squares Saturn retrograde (the guide for Capricorn, going back over the structures and rules) and opposes Ceres in Cancer — forming a cardinal T-square at 12°–13°. Cardinals push for action. This T-square is asking, again, loudly: how are our needs being met? How are the people's needs being met? How are the needs of the most vulnerable people being met?The outer expression of this energy keeps showing up in the news. Congress being sent home until November 9th — after the midterms, before Venus and Mercury station direct — while essential legislation is pending. A building in Gaza that had been bombed collapsed further, killing twenty people and trapping nearly a hundred. These are the literal expressions of the Moon opposing Ceres: needs not being met, structures not holding, the people saying enough.Mars in Cancer squares Vesta and Eris — both in Aries, both retrograde. Mars and Eris are siblings in the mythology, and this square is in some ways the two of them working together despite the friction. Mars (assertive drive, protective instincts, cooling its jets in Cancer) squares Eris (the truth-teller for the outsiders, sharply aware of exclusion and hierarchy). Together: there's a push to assert and claim space. And there's a deep fear of being controlled or sidelined. But the square is a cardinal square — initiating. Things have to change, and Mars is moving forward toward them.Mars then opposes Juno — now direct and heading back into Aquarius. The sacred contracts of our collective life are being confronted: none of this is working. We're seeing it everywhere.The Moon opposes Asteroid Lilith — and every goddess archetype in the chart this week seems to be screaming: we need to be heard. The Divine Feminine — not just women, but that whole energy of care, reciprocity, interconnection — needs to be heard.Black Moon Lilith at 25° Sagittarius makes a fire trine to the whole Aries retrograde cluster and to Hygieia and the South Node. The answer is to burn off the old, rise up, create the new. Tune into the spirit of fire — which I experience as the fire of inspiration. That whooshing feeling when something unlocks.The Moon closes the day by trining the Sun (last major Ptolemaic aspect before the full moon, Earth-to-Earth saying we are going to build a more meaningful world) while simultaneously squaring Chiron back in Aries. There is still work to finish. Every one of us is playing a part in building what comes next — in tight community, in broader collectives, in the most private inner work. All of it matters.Jupiter in Leo trines Pallas Athena — the expander meeting the wise strategist and pattern-seer. Strategies to rise up like phoenixes. To lead from the heart rather than from the throne.Monday, September 21 — Moon Into Aquarius. Mercury Opposes Pallas Athena. Hygieia and Hekate.The Moon finishes its Capricorn passage still carrying all those T-square themes, then enters Aquarius at 1:14pm Eastern — the sign of the people, the future, the collective. Things shift slightly: from the weight of structures collapsing to the vision of what we want to build instead.Mercury in Libra opposes Pallas Athena in Aries — big new ideas for justice. New strategies being assembled. In what feels like a surreal indicator of the astrology: Steve Bannon and Bernie Sanders were reported on the same stage (not at the same time) making the same argument: the future of AI must be decided by the people, not the oligarchs. I had to read that twice. Mercury opposing Pallas Athena in the sign of justice, pulling pieces together from unexpected places, finding new strategies to challenge concentrated power.AI is part of this week's conversation. The founders are fighting amongst themselves. Companies are finding that replacing workers with AI is not delivering what was promised. The data centre heat problem remains unsolved. And amid all of it, the argument about who gets to decide the future of this technology — whether it's the few or the many — is getting louder. Hekate has her torch. The way forward is being shown.Hygieia opposes Hekate in this same cluster — holistic, preventative health in all its forms (not just physical; the health of our collective mind and leadership) facing the torchbearer at the crossroads. Which way do we go? Hekate knows. The answers are within.Mercury forms a sextile to Jupiter in Leo — big new ideas, big new plans, a real expansiveness in how we speak and think about what's possible.Tuesday, September 22 — Equinox. Sun Enters 0° Libra. The People Are Rising.The Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring in the Southern — the Sun enters 0° Libra, a world point, beginning a new season and seeding new things.I took a quick look at the equinox chart set for Washington DC, and a few things caught my eye. Venus retrograde is in the 7th house of others and open enemies. The Aries retrograde cluster is in the 12th house of hidden enemies. Uranus is in the 2nd house of values, waking people up to what isn't feeding them. Ceres sits at the base of the chart — the IC, the foundation — and she is saying: this system is not working for the people's needs. Jupiter is moving into the 5th house of joy, creativity, self-expression, and the inner child — people beginning to find that.And the Aquarius Moon is on the cusp of the 11th house — the house of causes, politics, humanitarian concerns, and the collective voice. The Moon is the people. And the people are rising.Happy equinox.The Aquarius Moon meanwhile squares Haumea (regeneration at 2° Scorpio, the exact degree where Venus and the Moon met in their occultation gate), then sextiles Neptune (let go of who you thought you were; step into interconnection), then trines Uranus — ahas, pattern-shifts, those head-explodey moments of seeing things differently. We're going to have quite a few of those this week as we build toward the full moon.The Moon squares Venus in Scorpio — digging into the shared values and power relationships that Venus is about to take us through in her retrograde. Who has power over us? Who have we given our power away to? These are not rhetorical questions this week.Hygieia trines Vesta and Eris — the holistic health of the collective in flowing conversation with the inner flame and the truth-teller. The answers are within. Tune in.The Moon closes the day by conjuncting Pluto — the shadow to the light, the buried treasure beginning to emerge. Pluto and Haumea are heading toward another of their 13 squares (which run 2022–2028), and the Moon is activating that approach. Three more squares after this one. The transformation is not done.Wednesday, September 23 — Moon Opposes Jupiter. Moon Meets Hekate and Chariklo. Moon Into Pisces.The Aquarius Moon opposes Jupiter in Leo — the people looking directly at the expanded king energy and saying: your time is limited. Jupiter is heading toward the South Node in Leo. Leaders, in the astrology world and in the wider world, are being taken down or called to account. Not necessarily the ones we want yet — but the motion is real.The Moon trines Mercury (air to air: the collective mind, speaking out, ideas flowing) and then makes what I find genuinely beautiful: the Moon meets Hekate and Chariklo, both retrograde in Aquarius, both quietly holding space and weaving the new story from the pieces that are simultaneously falling apart and falling into place.The Moon opposes Hygieia — everything heading down the South Node drain that is not for our genuine holistic flourishing, individually and collectively. Circling the drain of what's not working. And the Moon conjuncts the North Node at 29° — still that eclipse charge, still that pull toward the future. Still at the threshold.Change is coming. 29°. The anaretic degree of the liminal space.And at the very end of the day, the Moon enters Pisces — things get very emotional as we build toward the full moon. But also: clouds clearing. The feeling quality of the coming days is going to be intense and also somehow clarifying.Thursday, September 24 — Quiet Build. Lightning Hitting Water.Not a huge number of aspects — a day to let things settle and integrate as the energy builds.The Pisces Moon squares Sedna (adapt; change is coming; mutable signs pressing) then trines Haumea (ready to create from our feelings and our right brain; intuition and balance coming together) and then squares Uranus — and Louise described this perfectly: lightning hitting water. Uranus in Gemini, all those electrical awakenings and flashing ideas, square the Pisces Moon's deep emotionality and flow. Shocking. Potentially beautiful. Possibly a few jarring revelations.The Moon then trines Venus — seeing clearly about values, self-worth, how power has been given away. This is Venus retrograde territory, and we're already starting to feel it from the outside in.Asteroid Lilith squares Vesta — the original equality and the inner flame in friction, both asking the same question from different angles: what are you devoted to at the deepest level of who you are? With Chiron back in Aries, this is about healing the core self — finding the medicine of genuine individuality (not rugged power-over, but power from within) and healing the inner masculine while we're at it.Mercury trines Hekate and Chariklo — the messenger in flowing conversation with the torchbearer and the cosmic doula. The mind is starting to catch up with what the soul already knows.Friday, September 25 — Venus Day. Pholus Stations Direct. The Kite Forms. Sun Enters Libra Season Fully.Pholus stations direct at 9° Capricorn. Nine — the number of endings. Pholus is the Pandora's Box centaur — the lid-comes-off energy, the things that get out that can't be put back in. He has been retrograde in Capricorn for a long time, going back over what has been out of integrity in our institutions and structures. And now he stations direct.More things are going to come out of the box. More revelations about the structures we've been living under. More things that, once seen, cannot be unseen. This station coincides directly with the full moon approaching and the Sun making exact aspects to the basket/cradle planets.The Sun trines Pluto and Uranus, and opposes Neptune exactly — forming a kite in fire and air, with the Aries retrograde cluster as the focal point and Neptune (dissolving the old, birthing the spiritual warrior) as the tail. Big ideas for justice. New people rising up. New alliances forming in unexpected places.The Sun at 3°–4° Libra is now past the equinox and building power in the sign of balance, harmony, and — often forgotten — justice. Libra is also traditionally associated with war (as the scales of battle), and the resistance to injustice is very much Libran at its highest.New lawsuits. New strategies. New coalitions. Some of them surprising.Mercury in Libra opposes Vesta and Eris — speaking up for the inner flame, speaking up for the outsiders. Mercury past 22° Libra means it's now in the territory where Venus will station direct on November 13th. The mercury mind is already walking the ground Venus will return to.Saturday, September 26 — The Aries Full Moon. 12:49pm Eastern.Go and watch the full moon video. It's all there.What I'll say here: the Moon in Pisces makes a water trine to Mars in Cancer (finally cooling its jets, the guardian energy settling into water) before entering Aries at 6:23am Eastern — and look at what it steps into. The whole retrograde Aries pileup. Chiron, Eris, Vesta, Pallas Athena, Saturn, Manwë, Neptune. The Moon as the focal point of this kite, as the people meeting all those planets going within, reviewing, reflecting.The Moon meets Neptune (spiritual warrior; releasing who we thought we were), sextiles Sedna (adapt), sextiles Pluto (transformation), sextiles Uranus (radical awakening) — the mini grand trine activated right at the full moon.Full Moon exact at 12:49pm Eastern at 3° Aries. Fulfillment. Illumination. Something completing.Right after the full moon, the Moon conjuncts Manwë — the Law of Grace. Spontaneous resolution through internal alignment and correct action. Without external intervention. This is what the class does: guide you to take that self-directed, inner journey.Then the Moon squares Pholus — facing what we see as the lid comes off, some people extending more grace to each other than before.And one date to hold: Venus and Mercury station direct on November 13th. Congress is due back on November 9th — four days before. Mars crosses the South Node the day after that, on November 14th, alongside Jupiter. Watch this space.The Cards in DetailSeven of Torches (Wands), reversed — Lacking Courage:You may start the week feeling this. A lack of faith in yourself. Like it's all too much. Like quitting would be easier. The upright Seven of Torches is I Am Courage — and the reversal doesn't remove the courage. It asks you to look within for it rather than expecting it to come from outside. The fire is in there. It always was.King of Torches — I Am Dynamic:The more you go within — even if you begin the week feeling defeated — the more this dynamism starts to build as the full moon approaches. Things are being ignited. The King of Torches doesn't wait for permission. He knows he carries his fire within him. The full moon is the ignition point.Ace of Torches, reversed — I Am Inspired (from within):The Ace reversed is still the Ace — pure creative fire, the beginning of something. Reversed, the invitation is to find the inspiration within, not to look for the external spark. This is where the three fire cards are pointing together: defeat, then dynamism, then inspiration — all sourced from the interior. This is the Red Seeds Tarot, the deck of the Eleusinian Mysteries and the descent and return. Perfectly placed for the week Venus is about to take us underground.She of the Invisible Ally (Witch Oracle):“There are unseen forces guiding you right now. They rarely let themselves be seen, but that doesn't mean they're not there. While it's true that you often name and number your resources, you forget about the unseen ones. The invisibles are available to you always, but they tend to dwell in the higher places — energies of wonder, curiosity, and hope.Petition them. A witch will reach into these energies and swim with them through the cosmos. This is a good time for dreaming and journeying. Take a walk in nature. Seek out a credible plant shaman who can help you access the gifts of the green world. Spend time in the liminal realm with active imagination. Put yourself in the way of magic. Helpful spirits are ready to guide you, and now is the time to summon them to show themselves.”We do exactly this in the Venus Retrograde class — the active imagination, the guided journeys, the liminal realm work. Not coincidentally.And: find your inner dragon.The planets don't make anything happen. Everything is happening within you. Stuff happens, challenges happen — but how you respond to them, and how you work with them, is what matters.You are the cosmos. The invisible ally is you.Summing UpA cardinal T-square pressing on the structures that aren't working. Mars and Eris, siblings, asserting and claiming space. The equinox — a new season, a world point, a chart that says the people are rising. Pholus stationing direct with more things coming out of the box. The fire and air kite forming as the Aries Full Moon approaches. Manwë, the Law of Grace, right after the full moon. And four cards — three of them fire — that move from defeat, through dynamism, to inner inspiration, held by the unseen allies that have never left.Start the week however you need to start it. Look within. Find the fire.It was always there.— LouiseVenus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — starts October 1st, Venus retrogrades October 3rd. $397 basic Journey; Dragon Rider add-on $500 extra. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026Cathy and I are recording on Friday — check the channel.

OpenAI And Anthropic Sprint Ahead AI is getting smarter, faster, and more confident, and the uncomfortable truth is that humans still click the same bad links. We kick things off with a serious warning from inside the AI world: when OpenAI's chief scientist argues for an industry-wide slowdown, it raises a bigger question than “who wins the race?” It asks whether anyone is truly prepared for autonomous systems, recursive self-improvement, and the security consequences that come with them.From there, we zoom out to the forces driving the acceleration. We talk through the competitive pressure between OpenAI and Anthropic, then follow the money to NVIDIA and its growing influence across the AI ecosystem. When the company selling the AI chips also invests billions into the AI companies buying them, the incentives get complicated fast. Along the way we also hit a surprisingly wild science story: superionic ice, created under extreme pressure and heat, that may exist deep inside Uranus and Neptune and help explain their strange magnetic fields.Then we bring the conversation down to ground level with practical cybersecurity. We read real scam and phishing emails, break down the red flags, and share the simplest rule that keeps working: never trust the email, log into the real site directly. We also cover a Florida DMV breach tied to improperly stored credentials and unpack pig butchering scams, where criminals build relationships over weeks or months before pushing fake investment platforms. Plus, there's whiskey: Penelope Project X, finished in a 1964 cognac barrel, and our honest verdict on whether it's worth the bottle hunt.If you like smart tech news with real-world takeaways, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs the scam warnings, and leave us a review so more people can find Tech Time Radio.

This week balances momentum we've been craving with some kinda-needed reality checks. Sunday opens with Mercury in Libra trine Uranus in Gemini, bringing fresh ideas and unexpected coversations Monday, the Sun in Virgo sextile Mars in Cancer provides a productive path for those new ideas and concepts. By Tuesday, Venus in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius turns the intensity up particularly around love, money, and power dynamics. The second half of the week moves into deeper territory. Juno stations direct in Capricorn on Wednesday, bringing movement to commitments that have been under review. Thursday, Chiron retrograde re-enters Aries and takes us back into unfinished healing around identity and confidence (solar plexus lessons). Friday closes the week with Mercury in Libra opposing Saturn in Aries, bringing a serious tone to conversations and decisions.  All things Cardsy B: www.cardsyb.com www.instagram.com/cardsyb  

Before We Dive InWriting and Recording this on September 10th — the day of the new moon, in the dark. I have absolutely no get-up-and-go. The aspects this week are going to pick that up. But right now: very on-brand for the dark moon that I am recording in it.A few important things before we get to a week that is genuinely significant.Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — I need to say something I've been sitting with. This is the seventh time I've run this class since 2017. Seven Saturn squares, seven chakras. It feels like a completion cycle, and there's a real possibility this is the last time I run it in this form. I feel immense shifts happening within me and within my work. If you have been thinking about joining, please do not wait. This one is particularly potent. I am working on the slides right now. The last time we had a Retrograde in Scorpio was 2028. That was my second class and I remember it as life changing for me and attendees. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026What you get: seven weeks, eight calls (all recorded), a course portal with pre-work videos, slides in color and black-and-white, materials you can keep. And the class itself is not just astrology — it's a heroine's journey, guided meditations that retrieve lost parts of yourself, a regeneration journey, healing tools. We follow the myth of Persephone, Demeter, and Hades, alongside Inanna, through the Venus cycle. This is the last Scorpio Venus Star Point in our lifetimes. We start October 1st.Dragon Rider tier adds a year's membership in my Spiral Codex community (beginning after the class), a 30-minute one-on-one session with me, and a personalized gift from Otter Spirit chosen based on your chart energy.Price stays at $397. I had been considering raising it — I'm not.For other presentations please see the end of the email. The Overall EnergyWe are in the week following the Virgo New Moon, the Venus sign change, the Mercury sign change, and Uranus stationing retrograde — all of which happened on September 10th. The nodes are still parked at 29° Leo/Aquarius until October 9th. The entire Aries stellium remains retrograde: Neptune, Manwë, Saturn, Pallas Athena, Eris, and Vesta. And Chiron — who has been visiting Taurus — returns to Aries on Thursday.Venus has passed the Star Point degree of 0° Scorpio that she will return to at the Cazimi on October 23rd. She is heading into the underworld, and this week's occultation — the last Moon-Venus gate before she goes retrograde — is the pivotal moment.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot by Linda Hill (Etsy, UK) and the Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins: Death (I Am Transition), Three of Torches, Seer of Torches reversed, and Lady of Perpetual Rebirth.The Death card and the Lady of Perpetual Rebirth bookending the week, with the Three of Torches (enthusiasm picking up) and the Seer reversed (not yet feeling your inner divinity, but the reminder to look) in between. Perfect for a week whose centrepiece is a Venus occultation at 2° Scorpio conjunct Haumea. More at the end.Day by DaySunday, September 13 — Moon in Libra. Air Grand Trine. Pallas Athena and Asteroid Lilith Square Off.We open the week with the Moon in Libra — balance, justice, how we relate, the scales.The Moon sextiles Jupiter in Leo. Jupiter was occulted by the Moon just last week at 15° Leo — the king hidden behind closed doors for transformation. Now the Moon, having moved all the way to Libra, reaches back with this fire-and-air sextile. A few more leaders with overblown egos will fall. It's time to rule from the heart. Jupiter will go retrograde in Leo and pass back over that territory. The transformation of what Jupiter represents is ongoing.The Moon squares Asteroid Lilith — who is being overtaken by Mars (in Cancer, moving forward) but is not finished. She is saying clearly: we are not going back. We are starting to move into the new paradigm. Things are starting to change.The Moon opposes Pallas Athena — the pattern-seer, the wise strategist, whose grey eyes see everything and nothing escapes them. We are starting to see the patterns more clearly now. And then Pallas Athena squares Asteroid Lilith directly — these two warriors in conversation. Pallas Athena with her strategy, Asteroid Lilith with her original equality: I was created from the same dirt. Equal. And it's time we worked from that. Restore balance.The Moon squares Mars in Cancer (more things falling or collapsing, the Libra Moon pressing for action and balance through cardinal signs) and then Ceres is opposed by Black Moon Lilith — the Great Mother and the shamed, hidden, elemental feminine in tension. Ceres is saying: move within. Take care of all your needs, met and unmet. Find what genuinely feeds you. Restore wholeness. And from that wholeness, you are more able to help create the new paradigm we're moving into.The Moon then makes a beautiful air grand trine to Hekate and Chariklo in Aquarius — the torchbearer and the cosmic doula, the way-shower and the grace-spinner, both in the sign of the future, the collective, the innovative. Ideas, new patterns, communication, social interaction — all of these weaving the new story. The path forward is through integration, through the Aquarian future, through humanitarianism and genuine care for each other.The Moon squares Juno (about to station direct — more on that Wednesday) and opposes Eris and Vesta — table-flipping and inner flame in tension with the scales of balance. Flip the inner tables first. And finally: Mars in Cancer trines Nessus — a water trine, leaching out the ancestral poisons, the old toxic patterns. Like bloodletting: get rid of them. They are holding us back.Mercury in Libra trines Uranus — an air trine at degrees very close to the first basket peak in July. Innovative new ideas. New thought, new inventions, aha moments. We are having collective awakenings in multiple ways simultaneously.I've been reading Nietzsche — Thus Spoke Zarathustra. His “God is dead” was not triumphalism; he meant that we, collectively, have killed the concept. And I find I'm glad we're moving away from the monotheistic, external, patriarchal God toward finding divinity within — moving away from intercessories. Which connects directly to the Hierophant reversed we had last week. The contracting is happening at every level.Monday, September 14 — The Venus Occultation. The Last Gate. The House-Raising Party.This is the day I most want to give space to.The Moon enters Scorpio and first opposes Chiron in Taurus before Chiron returns to Aries on Thursday. Scorpio digs deep; Chiron shows where the light gets in — the wounds around greed, materialism, our severed relationship with the senses and the earth. What does it mean to restore that balance? This is an ongoing excavation.The Sun in Virgo sextiles Mars in Cancer — Earth and water together, an opportunity for the guardian energy, the protective energy, the slow-and-meaningful energy to align with the Sun's call to purposeful, humble, stewardship-oriented action.And then: the Moon occults Venus.An occultation is like an eclipse — the Moon passes directly across the face of a planet, hiding it from view. We had the Jupiter occultation last week. Now Venus. And this is the last Moon-Venus conjunction (gate) before Venus goes retrograde — the last gate of this descent cycle.It happens at 2° Scorpio. Two is the number of the divine feminine: grace, cooperation, the receptive, the relational, the most powerful intuitive energy.Venus is conjunct Haumea — the Hawaiian creatrix goddess, the handle of Barbault's Basket, pure regeneration and rebirth. The Death card arrived in the cards this week. This is why.Venus is also square Pluto — death and rebirth energy, the shadow excavated for the buried treasure — and quincunx Neptune retrograde in Aries, making an aspect of adjustment: how have we lost connection with something essential in this long Martian-dominated era?That last point matters. The last Venus Star Point was at 2° Aries. This one is at 0° Scorpio. These are both Mars signs. And after this Scorpio Star Point — the last in our lifetimes — the Venus Star Point moves into Libra for over a hundred years, and then Pisces. Both Venusian signs. We are genuinely leaving a Martian era and entering a Venusian one. This occultation is a massive reset right at that threshold.The occultation runs from approximately 9:26am to 1:42pm Universal Time — check your local time equivalent, or simply look for when Moon and Venus are conjunct in your app.The Sabian symbol for 3° Scorpio (rounding up from 2°):A house-raising party in a small village. The village gathers not for entertainment but for the practical work of creating shelter. Many hands apply themselves to a single essential task, and the structure rises through coordinated effort. The image is purposeful and warm — a portrait of community focused on something that genuinely matters.The theme of this degree is collaborative intensity. The capacity to mobilize shared energy around a genuine need. The recognition that some structures require more than one person to build. There is a maturity here — in accepting support, and in offering it — so that what gets made is sturdy enough to last.Think of that in collective terms. Think of the Venus class. Think of community and what we're building together.The Omega symbol (Sandbach): A mysterious food, a small piece of which will satisfy hunger for days. Governed by the angel Rochel — lost and found, restitution. This degree possesses innate knowledge of what is needed to sustain life, versus what may be desired based on fantasies or addictive needs. There is something highly concentrated about this energy, so that what it may seem to be at first may be quite different from how it's experienced as it unfolds over time. It's hard to get to know, hard to assimilate, but any attempts to do so are well worth the effort.The Chandra symbol: Pigs being fed. Scorpio is the sign of desire. Overeating is often an attempt to fill what has been denied in other areas. At its best, this degree revels in what is taken in — love, a beautiful painting, a sunset, a bowl of mac and cheese. If not in deep and sincere touch with its true soul desires, it may binge chronically in an attempt to get something it never quite gets.This is the invitation of this occultation: what do you truly desire? What genuinely feeds your deepest needs? Not the addictive filling, not the binge seeking what it never quite gets — but the mysterious food, a small piece of which satisfies for days.I've been speaking with a friend about integrating Internal Family Systems work with astrology. The 8 C's of the Self: compassion, creativity, curiosity, confidence, courage, calm, connectedness, and clarity. And 5 P's: presence, persistence, perspective, playfulness, and patience. All of these are about coming into the Self — understanding yourself, accepting yourself, loving yourself — and from that place, bringing a completely different energy into the world. Rather than filling the hole. Rather than seeking from the outside what can only be found inside.After the occultation: the Moon conjuncts Haumea and squares Pluto. Then Venus conjuncts Haumea directly — the goddess of love meeting the goddess of regeneration at this threshold degree, in the deep water sign.We are being reborn.Tuesday, September 15 — Moon Gaining Light. Water Grand Trine. Neptune-Pluto Sextile.The Moon in Scorpio is gaining light now — we are past the new moon and entering the action phase. The Moon makes a water trine to Ceres — feeling our deepest needs, going very deep into our emotional world. Intense, but real.Venus at 3° Scorpio squares Pluto — she is moving into the underworld journey now. This is exactly what we'll track together in the class: Venus descending, confronting the shadow, finding the inner gold.A water grand trine forms: Moon in Scorpio, Asteroid Lilith in Cancer, Mars in Cancer, and Nessus in Pisces all in flowing conversation. Step into the interconnectedness. Wash away the old toxic patterns. These inherited poisons have been holding us back, and the water is dissolving them.Neptune and Pluto perfect another exact sextile — this ongoing aspect of collective transformation toward something more spiritual and interconnected. The building of something genuinely different is happening at the largest possible timescale, whether or not it's visible from inside the noise.The Moon squares Chariklo (helping write the new story) and sextiles the Sun — the first major Moon-Sun aspect since the new moon on the 10th. Earth and water. Creative energy coming from the depths.Wednesday, September 16 — Juno Stations Direct. Moon into Sagittarius. Hekate at the Crossroads.Venus is sextiled by Black Moon Lilith — the goddess of love and desire receiving support from the energy of the shamed and hidden wild feminine. Do the shame-and-vulnerability work. Brené Brown territory. What has been hidden in you? What has been shamed? That's what we're starting to surface as Venus approaches her retrograde.The Moon in Scorpio squares Hekate — so much retrograde energy in Aries, Hekate saying: we're not quite ready yet. The path forward involves the retrogrades. Venus and Mercury are both about to go retrograde through the same territory. After that, things will start to change in a big way — next year. But this is quite the process.The Moon reaches the anaretic 29° Scorpio and squares the Nodes at 11:48am Eastern — activating both eclipse points simultaneously. Purging more of the old attachments: to rules, to people, places, things, to the way things were. We cannot create the new until we've let go of a lot of the old.And then: the Moon enters Sagittarius. You may start to feel the shift — a little more get-up-and-go, a little more vision, a little more optimism. About time. The Sagittarius Moon shoots its arrows toward the future.Right after the ingress: Mercury in Libra squares Pholus — more things being revealed, the Pandora's box of our institutions still open. All the infighting globally, all the extremes — I genuinely believe we had to see all of this before we could create the new. The new is coming up underneath. It's just not visible from inside the chaos.The Sagittarius Moon opposes Sedna in Gemini (adapt or transform; communities renegotiating how they survive), trines Neptune, sextiles Pluto — the big agents of change, activated again.Juno stations direct. Her retrograde back into Capricorn has been reviewing our contracts with man-made laws, institutions, and structures — looking at what's out of balance, what needs to change. Now she starts moving back into Aquarius. New contracts. More meaningful ones. This is actually a significant shift.Thursday, September 17 — Chiron Returns to Aries. Moon Gains Light. Few Aspects.A quieter day in terms of number of aspects — but not in weight.Asteroid Lilith activates the water grand trine that has been building through the week — still washing out, still leaching the poisons, still saying we are not going back.The Moon in Sagittarius sextiles Mercury — opportunity for new ideas, new ways of thinking and communicating. The Moon is gaining light fast now.The Moon trines Saturn retrograde in Aries — what more old structures and self-limiting beliefs need to be released?And then, at 9:52pm Eastern: Chiron goes back into Aries. He'll be there until early 2027, revisiting territory he needs to complete before returning to Taurus for the longer stay.What does Chiron in Aries re-excavate? Wounds around the individual self, around identity, around who we are in ourselves. The message we received from the culture about what strength and individuality mean — rugged, power-over, domination — and the medicine of finding what genuine individual power actually looks like: coming from within, not over. We've been starting to find it. Chiron is going back to gather whatever bits need to be dug out before Taurus calls him back.Friday, September 18 — Venus Day. Ceres Squares Saturn. First Quarter Moon. Venus at the Basket Degree.Venus Day. And it delivers.Black Moon Lilith oscillates back into Sagittarius — freedom-restriction-freedom. The oscillating tension between the institutions' grip on us and the wild elemental self.Mercury in Libra squares Ceres in Cancer — what genuinely feeds us? What are our needs, and how do we take responsibility for meeting them? Not waiting for others to do it. This is the thesis of my Ceres book.Vesta and Eris meet again — devotion and focus meeting the original table-flipper. The most important place to flip the tables first is within. Those attachments to old rules, to needing someone else to tell you what to do or what to believe. You can have support. But being told what to think is different from being helped to understand.Mercury opposes Saturn — words and thoughts facing the structures and rules. The mythology of rugged individualism, manifest destiny, the hero's journey as the only journey. Write something new. Something more harmonious for everyone.Ceres squares Saturn at 13° Aries/Cancer — and this is an echo worth noting. When Ceres was discovered on January 1st, 1801, she was square Saturn in Leo — the sign of kings. I have always felt that her discovery chart encoded the eventual fall of kings and dominant leaders: Ceres, the Great Mother, at odds with the rules of the king. Now they square each other again, in cardinal signs. Ceres in Cancer: family, home, ancestors, the needs of the people. Saturn in Aries: rugged individualism, the old rules. Cardinals square: initiating something new. You may see another fall from grace around this day. The echo aspects are potent.The Sun in Virgo trines Juno at her station point — the Virgo Sun, wanting to do the right thing, in flowing conversation with our sacred contracts. More meaningful contracts are possible. This is the energy of building something sturdy.And: Venus is at 4° Scorpio — the first peak degree of Barbault's Basket. She is exactly at the degree where all four outer planets gathered in July. Venus leading the way, as always, into what's next.The day closes with the First Quarter Moon at 25° Sagittarius, squaring the Sun in Virgo. The action phase beginning in earnest. The crossroads.The Sabian symbol (26° Sagittarius): A flag-bearer in battle. This degree represents courageous dedication to principles bigger than yourself. The flag is not a tool of devastation — it's a symbol of shared values. Immutable signs with the Sun in Virgo: what is more meaningful? What is more useful? How do we create the future together around these bigger principles? Courage under pressure. Commitment to values. And the oxygen-mask wisdom: put yours on first, then put some personal wants aside for the greater good.The Omega symbol: A candle mysteriously undisturbed by wind. Sandbach titles this degree Beyond Mind. Thoughts are like wind — they push against everything and create turbulence. When you gain the power to detach from busy mind, there is an increasing steadiness that brings you closer to spiritual clarity. This degree carries a creative vision that is impervious to the agitations of inner voices.The Chandra symbol: Climbing the steps of the Pyramid of the Sun. To ascend — not by flying, but in a more substantial way, with something solid under your feet. This is about finding meaning and purpose and following the highest and clearest vision of it. Getting beyond what is shallow, superficial, and trivial can be arduous — but this meets the challenge with steadiness and purpose.Steadiness. Solid ground. A vision impervious to wind. A commitment to something bigger than yourself.That is your First Quarter Moon.Saturday, September 19 — Moon into Capricorn. Venus Receives the Moon's Grace. The Week Closes.The Moon moves into Capricorn overnight and closes the week with its early morning aspects.After the First Quarter, the Moon makes a fire trine to Chiron in Aries — just returned. Visionary, purposeful, the Sagittarius spirit meeting the medicine. What medicine do you need to create this vision? What healing is required for the steadfast purpose beginning to form?Juno has moved exactly one minute forward from her station — barely, but she's moving. New contracts are beginning.The Moon squares Eris and Vesta early — the tables are being flipped again, the inner flame is being tended. We are creating new structures. More revelations may surface today, including possibly the Epstein files re-emerging.In Capricorn, the Moon squares Neptune (retrograde in Aries) early in the morning — Neptune saying let go of the me-first attitude, the power-over energy. Create something genuinely new from here. And then the Moon makes a lovely unbroken flow trine to Venus — the Moon and Venus in earth and water, in gentle supportive conversation. All of this moving toward the retrograde. All of it connected.The Cards in DetailDeath — I Am Transition:A time of endings. Old lives, shared and beloved, are changing or gone. There may be some loss and pain this week — personally, culturally, collectively. Death and mourning is a process. Acceptance builds slowly as we lament and grieve for what was. But transformation beckons.Soon, you will start to feel the blood in your veins, and know that you are alive and have this big life journey to complete. In these extraordinary times that we are in.The Death card arrived at the same time as the Venus occultation conjunct Haumea. Regeneration, rebirth, the creatrix goddess. One cannot be separated from the other.Three of Torches (Wands) — I Am Enthusiasm:The Sagittarius energy is coming. You can feel it building from Wednesday onward — the arrow being drawn back, the vision beginning to form. The Three of Torches is that moment: enthusiasm. Grabbing it by the horns. You may feel less like lying on the mat in a quiet room — the life force returning.Seer of Torches, reversed — Reminder of Inner Radiance:Upright, the Seer of Torches is I Am Divine — the knowing that you are a divine being having a human experience, the natural inner radiance that doesn't need external validation. Reversed this week: you're probably not quite feeling this inner selfhood yet. You're not quite there yet with that inner divinity. That's okay. This is just a reminder: it's there. Look within. Notice your inner radiance, even just briefly. It hasn't gone anywhere.Lady of Perpetual Rebirth (Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins):Death comes for all of us — but this isn't a death card. It's a rebirth card.It's an invitation to clean and clear what needs to end, in order to welcome the new. What ideas or beliefs have become weighty, overwhelming, outdated? What thoughts no longer fit you? What convictions cause exhaustion or even illness when you embody them?Our Lady of Perpetual Rebirth is here to usher out the old and midwife the new.Pay special attention to your dreams. There are signs and symbols showing themselves to you right now that will indicate what wants to be loosened and released. The new vision, new awareness, new life that is circling you will also send out strong signals. Pay attention. Listen. Watch. Observe.This is the time to let go of what no longer serves.A witch can welcome death with the same enthusiasm a moth displays when flying into fire. She hurls herself towards her own endings, knowing her next beginnings live inside the fire of her passion — the heat of longing, calling her forward.Summing UpThe last Venus Gate before the retrograde — an occultation at 2° Scorpio, the divine feminine number, conjunct Haumea the regeneratrix, square Pluto, adjustment to Neptune. A house-raising party. A mysterious food that satisfies for days. Pigs being fed, or not, depending on whether they're in touch with their true soul desires.Juno stations direct. Chiron returns to Aries. Ceres and Saturn square at the echo of her discovery chart. The First Quarter Moon at the flag-bearer degree, the candle undisturbed by wind, the climbing of the pyramid with solid ground underfoot.And four cards that say: something is ending. The enthusiasm is coming back. Your inner radiance is there, even if you can't feel it yet. And the witch hurls herself toward her own endings, because she knows her next beginnings are already inside the fire.See you at the retrograde. Join me in the Heroine's Journey.

This Virgo New Moon coming up at 18° Virgo is bringing up some BIG questions around perfectionism, control, overgiving, receiving support, our work, our bodies + where we're pouring our precious life force energy. We're getting into Virgo II decan, the very juicy asteroid connections, and why some of what looks like "being responsible" might actually be fear walking around with a clipboard.
